| slm, 1. If you overtake the second, then you are in second. 2. How can you overtake the last? Obviously, the last person is last and there is no one behind them to take them over. 3. 4100? unless where it says "another thousand" doesn't imply addition. In that case i suppose you could end up with two numbers. I guess it depends on wording.. Wassalam, Nazia |

| [slm] Mashaallah :O !!!! I like the way you looked at it and deduced logic from the whole equation. Sometimes in the heat of the moment, we become heedless and reckless and that can fling us into further turmoils. May Allah keep us safe and sound (Amin) :):-) [wlm] |
